You Should Practice The french horn til you cant get anything wrong.
I usually practice it for 30 minutes a day. And on concert days, I usually do 20. You can ask your band director or if you have a private lessons teacher.
If you uncoil all of a regular french horn's tubing, in total it would be 12 feet long!
12 to 13 feet of metal tubing
For a double horn, the F side is 12 feet long, and the B flat side is 9 feet long. On a single horn, it will only be in one of these keys. Each valve lowers the pitch by adding extra length: the first valve by 2 semitones the second valve by 1 semitone and the third valve by 3 semitones
The French horn is a most difficult instrument to play for many reasons. First, the tone may be discouraging from beginning and inexperienced players. It's apt to be wobbly without dedicated practice and experience.Second, a French horn's sound is effective only in the upper notes. It requires more effort to produce higher than lower notes. So a French horn player must breathe very hard into the mouthpiece.Third, the French horn's mouthpiece is difficult to work with. It's unique in having a funnel shaped mouthpiece. All other brass instruments have cup shaped mouthpieces. So experience with most other brass instruments is no help in learning this particularly challenging brass instrument.Fourth, the tube of the French horn is about 16 feet/5.3 meters long. That means a lot of length through which the player must project breath. And the tube is not only long, but big. In fact, it forms a big circle. The player's hands must be able to be placed around the edge of that circle. At the same time, the fingers must be able to touch keys that aren't user friendly. They're located in the middle of the instrument!
There are two factors. One is that the length of the tubing required for the horn would, if straightened out, make a very long and unwieldy horn (you know that horn they use in the Ricola commercials?), so they curl it up instead. The other is just to give it a decorative shape.

as long as you can, but eventually your lips will become very numb.

A single horn will suffice through middle school and into early high school. The student should consider switching to a double at around 9th grade, maybe 10th at the latest.
